Andy:

AM-50s were semi-acoustic, electric guitars. Sorta like a smaller version of an ES335.

Your best chance of finding what model it was would be to search the acoustic catalogs from that period. But I'd try looking at them all, from '81 thru '84, just to be sure.

Here's a link to some European catalogs:

http://db.musik-meinl.de/index.php?direct_mainmenu=/service/katalogarchiv

Click on Katalog Archiv > Ibanez Gitarren. The 1981 Acoustic catalog is on page 8. There's a 1984-85 catalog on page 7. But no acoustics for either '81 or '82.

They are PDFs, so you'll need Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in (if you don't already have something.)

wowee thks for that!! I remember having the guitar at a certain job..But i forgot i did a yts course for 6 months from school so i was 17-18ish when i brought it..
so im guessing its 83-84 model.I'm 99% sure looking at the catalog it was a vintage sunburst model..theres a few models,im trying to remember (getting old) the shape of the pick guard..
anyhow i'm in the ballpark..are the vintage models expensive these days?
i remember selling mine,my mum walked in my room and stood on it and scratched the top i was gutteddddd lol
